this album is blowing me away. i usually dig marianne faithfull albums - she's a hip old bird - but the arrangements and song choices and collaborators on this album are completely out to lunch (in the best possible way).

"Children of Stone", with Rufus Wainwright (originally by Espers)
"How Many Worlds", with Teddy Thompson (originally by Brian Eno)
"In Germany Before the War" (originally by Randy Newman)
"Ooh Baby Baby", with Antony Hegarty (originally by Smokey Robinson)
"Sing Me Back Home", with Keith Richards (originally by Merle Haggard)

Disc 2:

"Salvation", with Sean Lennon (originally by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club)
"Black Coffee" (originally by Sarah Vaughan)

Holy fuck! How'd I miss this? I must have it now!

i'm not a big fan of antony hegarty (as you well know ), but the duet with him on this album is one of the most UNIQUE things i've ever heard. i can't say i find it 100% pleasant, but i'm very entertained and captivated by the noises they managed to make.

on the other hand, the decemberists cover is sublime, and "children of stone" is transcendent.

Is this out officially or should I be looking for the Russian import?

I usually love her albums too and am surprised that this is the first I've heard of it.

Anxiety said:

i think you still need to look toward russia for a copy of this lil' gem.

i just stumbled across it by chance myself. i figured i'd give it a whirl since i like her albums, then i saw the track listing and i had a mental fit.

this week, i'm catching up on things that i was mildly interested in. forgive me for any broken images, if there are any, i'm a bit tipsy.



pleasantly surprised by the ballads disc of Beyonce's disc, since it was the uptempo stuff i was looking forward to (which kind of sucks, Single Ladies aside). loving the Killers, a band I never though I'd even give a second thought when they first came out. Kanye is also surprisingly good, considering I'm not a fan. Britney and Pink are great as well. Enya is Enya, no more, no less.
